Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had an awesome time on our Hamilton brewery tour hosted by Jeremy. Everyone on the tour commented about how much they enjoyed themselves - Jeremy's knowledge and fun professional hosting skills were a massive part of this. I am keen to do another beer tour somewhere else in NZ sometime in the future.

We as a group of 10 did the Wellington Brewery tour with Brew Bus, with Jeremy as our guide. It was absolutely fantastic! Jeremy was enthusiastic and knowledgable about brewing, and the breweries chosen were all fantastic and different to each other. The breweries were in different suburbs so I enjoyed the scenic drive to different locations in Wellington, including a trip up Mount Vic. Excellent value, fantastic beer and food. Will be recommending to friends!

I had a great time on a rainy Bay afternoon. All the venues we visited were pouring really good beer. My favourite beers were brewed by Fitzpatrick's. A small operation brewing beers that are big on flavour and quality.
Our guide Martine, did a great job of managing the afternoon, looking after the crew and providing an informative commentary of historical sites and places of interest.
I would love to come back and do it again on a sunny day.
A really good time and well worth the outlay.

Cheers for the awesome review! The rain was a shame in our normally sunny Bay of Plenty but we are so glad it didn't put you off enjoying the wonderful local brews on offer in Tauranga. Great to hear you particularly enjoyed Fitzpatrick's and Martine had a ball showing you around the scene. We'd love to have you back aboard soon. Cheers, Katy, Brewbus HQ

It was near our last days in New Zealand and just the beginning of the Level-2 COVID-19 Lockdown that I made an online reservation with BrewBus. I made a mistake and reserved Saturday for an Auckland Urban Craft Beer Tour; but in fact, we were actually leaving New Zealand on that Saturday. On Friday morning, the day before our reservation with BrewBus, I called Kathy just to confirm that they would be picking us up at our Condo and Kathy said that the reservation was for the next day, the day we were to fly back to the US. Kathy graciously offered to refund our money in full, but then remarked that there was a slim chance that she could still arrange a tour, but that it couldn't start at noon as advertised. Ten minutes later Kathy called as said that her husband Mathew would drive 2.5 hours from Tauranga and meet us at 1 PM for a private tour. We were so grateful that Kathy and Mathew would go to that extreme just for us. The tour was fantastic and we will always remember Kathy and Mathew at BrewBus for the extra steps and special treatment they gave us. Every beer lover in New Zealand, and even those that are not beer lovers, should take a tour with BrrewBus!!!

Thank you so much Jack and Leeanna for your lovely review! It really was our pleasure to have you aboard and we are so glad that we were able to tour the wonderful Auckland beer and brewery scene with you just before you headed home. Our driver/guide had a fantastic time with you both and really enjoyed the tour and time spent with you showcasing some of our NZ beers. Your review means so much to us as a fairly new start-up and its so nice to know that going that extra mile is appreciated, so once again thank you. Travel safe and take care. We hope you reach your Untapped beer review goals Jack! Cheers, Katy 'Brewbus NZ'

What a fun day. Matt was engaging and entertaining. He took us to 3 different breweries and we got to experience parts of Auckland we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. We had great beer, great food and a multitude of laughs!

While we may live in this town, it was still a pleasure to have someone else drive us around to a couple of breweries and bars to sample a selection of their fare. Our guide Martine did a fine job of looking after us, offering us local knowledge, beer knowledge, some ice-breaker questions ('if you could be a beer, what beer would you be?'), being our van 'Mum' with chippies and water, and giving an upbeat vibe throughout. A really good burger was had at Rising Tide, along with their tasting paddle; The Island supplied a range of tasty brews which were refreshing, while being no-frills; and David at The Hop House is always going to be an enthusiastic authority on all things beer. Cracking few hours were had.

Collected by our awesome host Martine, who was professional, fun and knowledgable (and likes to remind you she's not your mum, but wants you to be safe, have a good day and reminds you to supplement the beer with the occasional water). A lovely day in the sun, drinking some of the Bay's finest beers. A special highlight having Dave from the Hop House to take us through a beer tasting, making sure we got the most from our experience. Definitely recommend this to anyone that likes a good beer.

Martine is a star and she loved having you all aboard to showcase some of the region's best spots. We love David at the Hop House, he is so knowledgeable with his brews! Thanks so much!
